Build your future with Sovos.

If you're seeking a career where innovation meets impact, you've come to the right place. As a global leader, Sovos is transforming tax compliance from a business requirement to a force for growth while revolutionizing how businesses navigate the ever-changing regulatory landscape.

At Sovos, we're dedicated to more than just solving compliance challenges -- we're committed to making a positive and lasting difference in everything we do. Our teams operate on the modern edge of digital technology, working not only to solve complex business challenges but also to enrich our personal, professional, and local communities.

Our purpose-built systems provide the tools you need to thrive in a world where governments demand increased visibility, faster reporting and greater control over business processes. Excited about the possibilities? So are we!

Don't worry if you don't check all the boxes -- apply anyway! We're focused on hiring the right people, not just the "right" resume. It's not about what you've done elsewhere; it's all about what you're capable of doing here.

The Work You'll Do:

As a Product Manager – VAT, you will shape and deliver product capabilities that support VAT determination, reporting, and compliance across multiple European markets. You will work closely with engineering, QA, design, regulatory specialists, and customer-facing teams to translate VAT regulatory requirements and client needs into high-quality product features.

This role suits someone who enjoys ownership, fast decision-making, and balancing regulatory accuracy with a strong user experience in an Agile environment.

What You Will Do

• Own the product roadmap for VAT functionality, covering both near-term delivery and longer-term strategy.

• Translate VAT regulatory requirements, customer feedback, and market insights into clear epics, user stories, and acceptance criteria.

• Lead sprint delivery: planning, backlog prioritisation, and progress tracking.

• Write structured, detailed Product Requirements Documents (PRDs).

• Partner with QA on bug triage, testing challenges, and release quality.

• Work closely with regulatory experts to ensure accuracy, compliance, and readiness ahead of legislative changes.

• Identify opportunities to improve VAT workflows, automation, and user experience.

• Collaborate with engineering to ensure clarity of scope, design, and technical approach.

• Support stakeholders—including support, implementation, and customer success—with VAT feature explanations.

• Contribute to pricing insights, competitive analysis, and win/loss reviews.

• Collaborate with global teams across time zones.

• Use AI tools to improve productivity, documentation quality, and decision-making.

What We Need From You

• 2+ years of product management, business analysis, or SaaS product development experience (senior candidates welcome).

• Experience with VAT, indirect tax, or regulatory/financial technology strongly preferred.

• Strong understanding of Agile processes, SDLC, and prioritisation frameworks.

• Ability to translate regulatory and technical topics into clear requirements.

• Proven experience creating PRDs and managing end-to-end sprint execution.

• Strong communication skills and ability to align cross-functional teams.

• Confident presenting product decisions to senior leaders and stakeholders.

• Curious, methodical, and committed to continuous learning.

• Ownership mindset with focus on value, outcomes, and releasing on time.

• Skilled with tools such as Jira, Confluence, and analytics platforms.

• Willingness to travel occasionally; must pass a background check.
